Coming of age as a girl is pretty much a horror show, even if nothing supernatural happens to you. But much as in Brian De Palma’s Carrie, Diablo Cody’s Jennifer’s Body or Julia Ducournau’s Raw, in Tiger Stripes a protagonist’s monstrosity feels like a righteous and empowering reaction to the cruel patriarchal world these women inhabit.
